Holiday Happiness.

Yep.  The holidays are right around the corner and this year, like every year, I thought I’d get a jump start on pictures for our Christmas cards.  I loath this process.  The picture I always envision for the card is nothing like the one that actually gets printed.  Inevitably one of the two kids is in a bad mood and refuses to smile.  They don’t want to stand next too or touch each other.  There is usually a fight about clothing, hair style or location.  The only reason we get one so-so picture every year is almost always because I threaten them within an inch of their lives.  Not this year.

This year I decided to do something different.  Take their pictures individually.  And so Andrew, being the only one home this afternoon, was the first.  Easy enough I thought.  Him.  A good mood.  The dog.  Great lighting.  And this.  This is what I got.

Help?  Someone?  Anyone?”

The dog.  Clearly as amused about this process as I am.
